Jafar Salmani @ Portimonense S.C. | 2020-2021

[Dortmund]

excited to see what he can do. Sometimes our most under the radar players end up becoming some of our best.

Lets not forget, milad enterred europe through a trial at sturm graz and the Tajik Akhmat coach they played in a friendly noticed him and offered him a contract. At the time milad was a bench player at rah ahan!

Hoping this kid can produce a similar surprise.

We need some good competition on the left for Milad anyway, they can push each other to be better

With all the signings Portimonense are making in the January transfer window they should be expected to stay up comfortably for the remainder of the season. Most of their signings should arrive this week and next week (in addition to the ones that were already made). Honda, Moreira, Nakamura, Ewerton, Barcos, and Salmani are quality signings for a team like Portimonense.

Busy market to the sides of Portimão! - Blog do Portimonense

The failure in the signings, in the last days of the transfer market, of Luan, Júnior Tavares and Abang, placed Portimonense in a fragile situation.
The serious injuries of Lucas Fernandes and Pedro Sá, both undergoing surgery, and the chronic knee injury of Vaz Tê, ended up bringing added difficulties to Paulo Sérgio.

In addition to all these setbacks, Gonda and Safawi have already abandoned Portimonense.
Japanese international goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda will return to his country to represent Shimizu S-Pulse, on loan from Portimonense. The loan is valid until December 2021, with the Shimizu S-Pulse paying one million euros. The Japanese club will be able to guarantee the player permanently, at the end of that period, by paying an additional two million euros.
Safawi, an Asian golden-boy and a star in Malaysia, returned to his country, to his former club, champion Johor, who had loaned him to the alvinegros. Rasid cited personal reasons for returning to Malaysia, a request that was readily accepted by Portimonense officials.

Thus, even taking into account the last place he occupies in the table, Portimonense despairs of reinforcements, which are added value and increase the quality of a clearly deficient squad. Paulo Sérgio is looking for players who can join the team and enable Portimonense to fight for their place in the biggest league of Portuguese football.

Iranian Jafar Salmani, 23, who plays both defense and winger on the left, arrived in Portimão in early December. After signing a contract until 2023, he ended up failing to enroll in the October market due to bureaucratic reasons, he was enrolled now, being the 1st reinforcement of the January transfer market. Salmani is well known to coach Paulo Sérgio, who coached him during his stint with the Iranian Sanat Naft team.

During the next week, 4 new reinforcements should arrive at Portimonense, which are finalizing details to be officially presented, namely medical examinations.
Kosuke Nakamura, 25 years old, goalkeeper of Kashiwa Reysol, is international, having represented the Japanese team on six occasions, in addition to other internationalizations in the youth team. In the last games, Kosuke has been an alternate. It is curious that Nakamura is one of Gonda's rivals for the Japanese team's goal.

Offensive midfielder Keisuke Honda is expected in the coming hours in the Algarve and can even watch Portimonense - Sp.Farense, if there are no complications on connecting flights. The Japanese international has freed himself from Botafogo, largely due to the muscle injury that affects him and will keep him from the pitch until February (end of the Brazilian championship) and is reinforcement until the end of this season, with another season of option. His compatriot Kosuke Nakamura, goalkeeper, who represented Kashiwa Reysol, who will surrender Gonda, should arrive on Tuesday.

The news does not stop there, and Ewerton, a player who has already represented Portimonense for five seasons, is also reinforcement. The player has a contract with the FC. Porto and was on loan to the Japanese from Urawa Reds, arriving in Portimão on loan from the dragons.

Also on the verge of signing for the Algarve is veteran Hernán Barcos, a striker who played for Sporting and has already traveled to Portimão in order to deal with the last details of a business that is in a very advanced state. The 36-year-old Argentine player was a member of the Italians of Messina (4th Italian Division).

For now 5 reinforcements arrive, some veterans, some injured and others without playing for a long time…
The arrival of Nakamura to Gonda's place seems absurd, especially when Samuel has been the owner and lord of the goal and there are still Ricardo Ferreira and Aflalo, who have been in such a good level in the under-23s.
Salmani seems to us to be a good bet for the future and the ideal substitute for Safawi. Ewerton is one of ours and will balance a midfielder orphaned by injured Pedro Sá. Keisuke Honda is the creative hired to make up for Lucas Fernandes' absence until the end of the season. The Japanese is an ace, however it is a shame that he comes injured (muscle injury and does not play until February).
The hiring of Boats, the “pirate”, we don't know if it will be a laugh or a horror movie. 36 years old, in the last year and a half he has only one presence in the Bangladesh championship, at the service of the Bashundhara Kings (1 game and 4 goals).
In addition to these 5 new players, they will be able to reach Portimonense, in the coming days, more reinforcements. It's all for the alvinegros in the fight for maintenance.

Blast from the past with the potential signing of Keisuke Honda, seems like they are buying some experience but injury prone and past their sell by date.

Hopefully they can hang on here this is a big game against another relegation battling team. A win here would put them out of the relegation spot.
